From the course: SAS® 9.4 Cert Prep: Part 03 Exploring and Validating Data

Sort your data with SAS

- Now that you know how to access data you're ready to explore it. Exploring your data might include seeing what's there. For example, the names of the columns and the types of values they contain. It might also include evaluating what you might need to add or change. For example, you might validate data to look for incorrect or inconsistent values. In Exploring and Validating Data you learn to use SAS procedures that provide insights about your data. You also learn to subset data so you can focus on particular segments, format data so you can easily understand it, and sort data to identify and resolve duplicate values.
